England,
Wales and Scotland together form Great
Britain the largest, hence 'greatest'
(in size) of the islands known as the British Isles. The United
Kingdom (UK) is made up of Great Britain (GB)
plus Northern Ireland whilst the British Isles
includes the UK and the Republic of Ireland
(Eire).
.
The
official mapping agency of Britain is known as the Ordnance
Survey, often simply referred to as the OS.
Maps produced by the OS are considered to be amongst the
best, if not the best, in the world. Northern Ireland and
The Republic of Ireland have their own Ordnance
Survey.
.
The
UK maps offered here concentrate on Ordnance Survey
products but also include some of the more popular alternatives such as
Harvey and the larger
scale Michelin series, together with CD based
mapping (OS and Harvey) from Anquet Maps.
